Early HIV Infection: High Risk of Infecting Others You are 20 times more contagious during acute HIV infection than you are during long-term infection. This is because the viral load in your blood is far higher during seroconversion than it is at any other stage.
When muscles become dehydrated the fibers can stick together and cause painful areas which are sometimes called âtrigger pointsâ. A muscle massage can soften these rigid areas and bring flexibility back to the muscles by lubricating the muscle fibers and allowing them to operate independently again.
All muscles exert their force by pulling between at least two points of attachment. The movement that results from contraction is called the action of the muscle. Typically, one attachment remains stationary and is called the origin and the other attachment moves and is called the insertion. Almost all muscles cross at least one joint (moveable connection between two bones) and cause an action across that joint.
